Name
Stibadocera Enderlein, 1912

Stibadocera is a genus of crane fly in the family Cylindrotomidae. Stibadocera are unusual for crane flies in that the males have very long antenna, sometimes as long as the body. Most species are very small (6–10 mm).

Biology

The larvae of the genus Stibadocera live on mosses. Adults are to be found in damp tropical habitats.
